Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नाहीं तुह्मां कांहीं लाविलें मागणें । कांटाऑयाच्या भेणें त्रासलेती ॥1॥
एखादिये परी टाळावीं करकर । हा नका विचार देखों कांहीं ॥ध्रु.॥
पायांच्या वियोगें प्राणासवें साटी । ने घवेसी तुटी जाली आतां ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुह्मां मागेन तें आतां । हें चि कृपावंता चरणीं वास ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have asked nothing of You, yet You are troubled as though by the prick of thorns. In one way or another, put an end to this friction; let me not see such indifference from You. Separation from Your feet is a contest with life itself; I cannot bear this rupture any longer. Says Tuka, all I shall ask of You now, O gracious one, is to dwell forever at Your feet.

Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
